LOS ANGELES -- Comedian Kathy Griffin and her attorney Lisa Bloom held a news conference on Friday to explain the controversial image and what they called "bullying from the Trump family she has endured."

She went on to say: "I'm not afraid of Donald Trump. He's a bully. I've dealt with older white guys trying to keep me down my whole life."

"I'm gonna make fun of the president...I'm not going to threaten him. I have no desire to harm him."

Backlash against Griffin continues to grow with at least four theaters announcing that they had canceled her performances after the comedian posed with a likeness of President Donald Trump's severed head. Venues in New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania canceled shows.
